Caroline and Terrance Sweet Morning Wedding at Russellville First Baptist Church

I've had the privilege of capturing countless love stories, but Caroline and Terrance's wedding at First Baptist Church in Russellville, Arkansas, has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. This beautifully simple celebration was a testament to their faith, family connections, and the pure joy of getting married!

Morning weddings have stolen my heart, and this brunch reception was no exception. There's just something special about starting the day with such an important celebration. Caroline and Terrance opted for an intimate affair without a traditional bridal party, instead inviting their best friends to join them early for the getting-ready process. I loved that! No fuss or time filled with just trying to get everyone ready but a special time of visiting and just being there for their friend.

One of the most touching aspects of their wedding was the series of first looks. Caroline shared emotional moments with her dad and brothers before the main event – her first look with Terrance. I love first looks because not only do they let the bride and groom have that touching moment together but it allows us to capture most of the photos before the ceremony, leaving more time after the ceremony for the couple to mingle with their guests and enjoy their reception.

The ceremony itself was breathtaking, with the couple exchanging vows beneath the grand cross in the church's lobby. Caroline's elegantly understated flowers that gave off a bit of a wildflower feel were the perfect touch to the already beautiful space. The Floral Court in Russellville did an amazing job making her vision come to life! It was clear that Caroline and Terrance prioritized their faith, family, and close friendships throughout the entire celebration.

As the newlyweds made their exit, guests showered them with bubbles – my absolute favorite send-off! This joyful moment perfectly encapsulated the feel of their day: a beautiful beginning filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a bright future together.

Caroline and Terrance's wedding reminded me why I love what I do! It was a day filled with such genuine moments, connections, and a testament of just how good God is!!
